Hello all. Long time reader first time poster.
I've had my new NC for three weeks now. I'm coming from a CB300R and it's such a welcome step up. Love the DCT.
The downside is that the LCD is quoting me MPG that is far worse than y'all are seeing. From searching the forums, I see you getting in the sixties or even seventies. Mine is hovering around 48.
I'm six foot and 215 lbs, so there's that. And what's more, I live in Seattle (sea level) which has traffic-heavy city streets, and hilly at that. I'm also well within my break in period (<200 mi).
Tire pressure is good. Coolant is good.
Last week was my first fill up since purchase, but I didn't manually calculate what mpg I'm getting. I often have the display set to have MPG up, and that low number depresses me, since fuel efficiency is one aspect that drew me to to the bike.
I called a nearby service department (I had to road trip to get a 21 with dct) and they said 48 is amazing gas mileage for a 750 within the break-in period. I pressed about a NC specifically, and he said not to trust numbers you see online. But here I am!
Is 48 MPG a realistic number? What could be the issue?
